Experience and expertise
We have been operating the registry for .ch domain names since the early days of the internet in Switzerland. Thanks to our many years of experience, we have all the necessary expertise and are constantly building on this.

Sur mandat de la Confédération suisse et de la Principauté du Liechtenstein, nous gérons, en tant que «Registry», le registre central de tous les noms de domaine (adresses Internet) se terminant en .ch et .li. Grâce à notre expérience de longue date, nous garantissons la sécurité et la stabilité. Nos partenaires, les registrars, sont responsables de la vente des noms de domaine.
Le travail d’un Registry implique une grande responsabilité, car le DNS (système de noms de domaine) est une condition essentielle au bon fonctionnement d’Internet. Nous prenons cette responsabilité très au sérieux.

We act on behalf of the Swiss and Liechtenstein authorities and maintain a close, trusting cooperation with them.
The Federal Council numbers the internet among its «critical infrastructures» – and the DNS (Domain Name System) is a fundamental element here. The federal government carries out tests on the registry infrastructure, which meets the highest standards of security and reliability.
We work closely with registrars, who register domain names for their clients. Together, we ensure a secure and stable Swiss internet.
Working with law enforcement authorities and registrars, we as a registry are an important hub in the fight against cyber crime.
Internet security is one of our core competencies – in the registry as well as in our other areas of activity. This creates valuable synergies.
